In this situation of affairs, 11 considerable part of . the West ern Army formed the' resOlution to march to the capital With the patriotic men, which appears by the Proclamation issued:: on their part. sitnithe tnovements took place among _the rest of the Swe dish troops, and it was in this critical position his Royal Majesty Came tO: the unfortunate re solution of leaving Stockholm, and directing his• family, and severai Officers of' the State, to follow Vim.

As the greater part of this,operation, was condu6l - by the Brigadier-General with ,spirit, I.sball now beg leave to refer to his report, which accompanies mine. To it I have only to add, that on mycoluing on the heights of Surirey, I had, innumerable proofs of the valour and judgment of the Hun. Lieut.-Col.
